Digital baby journal

Your child's story, from the very first heartbeat

HiStory is a digital baby journal that stays with you from pregnancy onwards. Write about the day, add a photo, a short video or a voice recording, and keep it all in a calm, private space that your family can access when you invite them.

Every memory in one place

Why write it down?

We think we'll remember. Then the next day comes.

The first smile. That word only they pronounced that way. The week they finally slept through the night. We take thousands of photos, but what happened that day, what they said and what made them laugh rarely stays with the pictures.
HiStory was made for those details. A few minutes in the evening, a voice recording during the day—and years later, you can still return to them. And one day, you’ll have something to place in their hands: their own story.

How it works

Three steps, and you're ready to start writing.

01

Account and journal

Sign up with your Google or Facebook account and create your child’s journal. Each child gets a separate journal, and you can keep a personal journal of your own too.
02

Capture memories

Write a few lines about the day and add a photo, short video or voice recording. Missed a day? You can add it later.
03

Look back and share

Browse back through the timeline day by day, and find your favourites in a separate view. Anyone you invite can follow the story too.
Capture memories

One day, one entry—as much detail as you like.

Each day has one continuous entry that you can add to later. This way, the journal does not become fragmented; it grows into a story.

Daily entry

Write down what happened while it is still fresh.

Add it later

You can add earlier days retrospectively.

Photos

Add pictures directly to the day’s entry.

Short videos

The first steps, just as they really happened.

Voice recordings

A heartbeat, baby babble or a song you sing together.

Quick memory

Just a few seconds when there is no time to write at length.

Little sayings, before they are forgotten

When there is no time to write at length, you can save what they said or what just happened in a few seconds—with a picture or voice recording too. You will find it later in the right child’s journal.
Example
“Mom, is the moon coming home with us too?”
Timeline

Find your way back to any day.

Your memories are arranged day by day in chronological order. Even years later, you will not have to scroll through your gallery to find when they said their first word.

Timeline

A chronological, day-by-day view.

Search

Find anything by keyword in seconds.

Favourites

Mark the moments that matter most.

Highlighted memories

All your favourites together in one dedicated view.
Family and private space

One shared story, on your terms.

Invite your partner, the grandparents or anyone close to your family—and you decide what each person can see and what they can add.

What you share

  • Invite family members to a specific child's journal
  • Set viewing or contribution access for each person
  • No one else can edit your entries

Dad — can add entries

Grandparent — can view

What stays private

  • Private entries that only you can see
  • Your own personal journal, separate from your children's journals
  • Space for your own thoughts as a parent
Pregnancy and the early years

A little guidance for every week and every day.

HiStory shows content tailored to your child’s current age—from the weeks of pregnancy to the days after birth.

The weeks of pregnancy

Week by week, see how your baby is developing, how big they are now—compared with a piece of fruit—and read short, easy-to-understand information about what is happening at this stage.

After birth, day by day

Every day brings a short fact linked to that day’s number, available on that day only. For example:
Day 44
Barack Obama was the 44th President of the United States.
  • Shareable cards: Weekly and daily content can easily be sent to family members or shared on social media.
Premium

Memory Box: a place for memories that do not fit in a journal entry.

The hospital wristband, the first drawing, a nursery creation. The Memory Box lets you preserve digital versions of these in a separate, gallery-style space, independently of the timeline.

The story behind HiStory
The people behind it

It did not start with a product idea. It started with a family.

HiStory grew out of one family’s own experience. Here, they share why they started it—and why it matters to them that other families’ memories are kept safe too.

Data security

Your memories stay yours.

A journal you keep for years only matters if it is still there years later. That is why security and long-term preservation are core principles, not add-ons.

Protecting private content

No one can access the journal without an invitation, and only you can see your private entries.

Cloud storage

Your memories do not depend on your phone: they remain in your account even after you sign out.

Regular backups

Your content is backed up regularly.

Access management

For each person, you decide who can view the journal and who can add to it.

GDPR-compliant data handling

Data is handled in accordance with European data protection regulations.
